Art Guide Australia is a print and online magazine exploring contemporary Australian art. Our editors and our team of writers and contributors know the local art scene and keep you informed through engaging and thoughtful articles.

We speak with artists, curators and gallerists to learn more about their ideas and share them with an audience who want to know more about Australian art and what to see.

 We’re here to support a vibrant and diverse arts community and our aim is to provide independent, considered editorial coverage alongside a comprehensive picture of what’s happening in the visual arts across Australia.

In this issue: 

Pat Brassington’s images have always felt like the underside of the Australian art psyche—and they adorn the cover of our May/June issue, where Brassington, in a rare and insightful interview, unpacks the power of her work. We also speak with Jill Orr about promises and performance; think about the role of status in the art world with Mona’s new show, Namedropping; and explore the practices of Kez Hughes, Kasia Töns, Jumaadi and Nicholas Mangan. And with ever-worsening climate news, we ask five artists whose work centres nature— Nici Cumpston, Karla Dickens, Janet Laurence, Jenna Lee and John Wolseley—what it feels like creating in the age of the Anthropocene.
